Sam Racioppi for State Representative

No doubt this will save immeasurable lives!

☎️ 988 ☎️ ~ Starting today, Saturday, July 16th, people who are experiencing mental distress can dial just three numbers, 988, to reach the National Su***de Prevention Lifeline. If you’re in distress, you are not alone, so PLEASE dial 988 and make the call 💚

Anyone in the United States can text or call 988 to reach trained counselors who can help them cope with a mental health emergency, and direct them to additional resources for mental health and substance use treatment. 988 is for people experiencing a mental health crisis of any kind, not just those involving suicidal ideas or thoughts. If a caller requires medical attention, 988 will collaborate with local police or hospitals to dispatch services. Beyond that, calls are anonymous.

The Lifeline's existing 1-800 number still works, but improvements to the service were made and will now be more able to address general mental health concerns and emotional distress, as well as su***de crises.
